First sentence: IN the administration of large public libraries nothing is more important than a lucid arrangement of the books and other appurtenances on some determinate plan, which, while it is capable of preserving a judicious classification of them according to their subjects, nevertheless admits of their being easily accessible to proper persons, and of being found with the least possible consumption of time and labor, charged and delivered to borrowers or readers with the greatest promptitude and despatch, and at the same time presents them to the eye in the most orderly, neat and agreeable manner.
